Team UK - September10

Hi Everyone!

It HAS been quiet! Kendra, it's great to see you! Hope to see you more soon xo. James, I hope you are feeling fab with all that you've achieved, I don't think you are in any way failing if you fall just short of that final goal. Queenmedusa, thanks for the words of encouragement It has been a tough month and yep James, I think its the return of the cold!! Welcome Beebee and congrats on losing 20lbs so far! Nikki, how exciting for you! I hope you are enjoying your new dress!

I bought a new dress too... a wedding dress!!!!! I got the designer dress I've been looking at, but I got it on ebay as a previous store dress. It doesn't look any different to brand new though. I was trying to get one just a bit small for me in case I don't quite lose as much weight as I want to. This one will probably very nearly fit me but it has a corset tie up so I think I should be able to adjust it a bit if I need to but can also get it taken in if need be (which I hope there is hahaha). Very excited! I also bought bridesmaid dresses.

For anyone who is interested: This is the wedding dress http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?style=A3120 and these are the bridesmaid dresses but they are in black http://www.ktbridal.com/rb3.htm

Also, heading back to Birmingham this week to work again. It's supposed to last until christmas so hopefully I can consolidate my weight loss because I did so well last time I was there!

Take care everyone xo

Morning all

Well, yesterday was a little bit exciting for me (it doesn't really take much these days)! I have been speedily running out of clothes to wear to work lately, and last week I was so pleased that I tried on and fitted into a pair of size 12 trousers! I had been thinking about what clothes I had stored up in the roofspace, wondering if there was anything up there that would fit me again.

So up I climbed, and down came the storage box!

Inside the box was a rather expensive suede skirt that was a bit tight on me when it was bought 6 years ago, a lovely French Connection jacket and lots of pretty little size 12 tops! I took them out, tried them on... and they fit!!! I was so excited that I went to my wardrobe, tried on lots of clothes, and replaced my new old skinny clothes with old fatter clothes so now the fatter clothes have replaces the skinny clothes in the roofspace!!

no idea why this double posted. ermm.

WOW! what a lovely feeling Lesley :bigsmile: I put some of my summer clothes away yesterday and got down some winter boots that were always tight around the calves. I managed to zip them up and not have so much leg over hang LOL, Was really pleased because my legs are the last place the fat leaves, so I'm hoping that now I'm almost at goal (well about another 7lbs maybe) the fat will leave my legs and not continue coming off my chest :mad:

I've ordered new boots, which should arrive today I just hope they fit, as i've been blessed with big calves... I did try on a pair of my old pull-on style boots the other day, and it's nowhere near as big a struggle to get them on!

I've also had to order new bras... I've went from a 36C to a 34B :grumble:

Lesley - well done chick that's fantastic! xxx

gileeman - great stuff! xxx

TMLS - way to go! xxx

How is everyone else today? I've been signed off for another week not happy about it as I don't like being at home but the dr doesn't think the steroids have done enough xxx

9lbs lost in 3 weeks for me and 14lbs for my hubby :laugh:

Jealous? :sick: DEFINITELY!!!!!! :explode: He has been SUPER good though!! :drinker:

Thay are BEAUTIFUL Lilmissy..... when's the wedding? !!!! xxx

Great job girls it's great to see all the hard work paying off!!

Hello!

Thanks Beebee and Nikki for your lovely comments on the dresses I'm excited! The wedding is in March so still 6 months to go

Congrats on your weight loss Nikki! Great start. I always feel a bit disheartened by how much more weight men can lose hehe damn gender-related-slower-metabolisms!

I've had a bit of a disheveled week since I started back at work in Birmingham on Wednesday. Last time I was there I lived on ready meals (the new asda ones with more veg and fresher style food) since there is very limited fridge space and cooking utensils but this time I bought a small frypan and stove-top steamer so I'm happy not to have to have ready meals! I do still have to shop daily though but it means I get an hour of walking even if I don't feel like it haha!

I can't believe how cold it has gotten like overnight! Winter is definitely on the way.

Take care everyone xx

lilmissy - well done you! I like the getting the walk in even if you don't feel like it! Very good idea!

Morianna - well done on your loss!!

I still can't weigh in until november but I keep on going xxx

I can't believe how cold it has gotten like overnight! Winter is definitely on the way.

Very true! Was freezing in here on Saturday night (to a point that my ex and I ended up cuddled up under a blanket just to stay warm!!!! LOL). Mum told me that her outdoor thermometer dipped to 2degC so yes, winter is def on the way and I need to wear coats every day now. Last night I had to turn the shower right up just to get warmth back into my bones. Hoping to use exercise and healthy eating as a way to defeat my S.A.D this winter. The knee injury meant that my exercise suffered last week so I didn't lose but hoping that things pick up soon and I'll be back on the 30day Shred tomorrow.

Hope everyone's doing ok x

Hi just had a quick read through since last checked in, there's been some fantastic weight loss, reaching goals early, new size clothes, and lovely wedding dresses t'bout well done everyone, its so inspiring to read.

I'm checking in for end of September. Reached my goal of some weight loss for this month. Think I said I was happy to lose anything as it was coming off slowly - actually managed 2 lb off this month - hooray!! Lost half inch off waist and hips and 1% down on fat - yipee :bigsmile:

Close to my goal now, then I'll see how much more I need to lose. So next month would be nice to lose about the same as this month so we shall see.

Keep posting folks and good luck
